Rihanna: 'I like to be tied up and spanked' – Tabloid Hell

Rihanna has made some startling admissions about what she wants in a lover – namely to be tied up and spanked.

The singer caused controversy with the saucy video for recent single 'S&M' (watch it by clicking below) – but has now insisted that she genuinely finds the raunchy shenanigans depicted in it fun.

"Being submissive in the bedroom is really fun," she told Rolling Stone. "You get to be a little lady, to have somebody be macho and in charge of your shit. That's fun to me."

Elaborating on her bedroom preferences, she added: "I like to be spanked. Being tied up is fun. I like to keep it spontaneous. Sometimes whips and chains can be overly planned – you gotta stop, get the whip from the drawer downstairs. I'd rather have him use his hands."
